Global Co's 5th year anniversary special Hamidon Raid, 3B inf in prizes
Congratulations on five years Global Co!
Thx Trekkin...
Sadly the attemp was a bust,
We had massive DC 3 times in a row.
So we called it.
I plan to try again next week.
LAst year we did 75% push with no issue, Arky did 100% push this summer with no issue, but tonight the server was just not helping us!
Hope this is not permanent.
Ill post the next week schedule soon!

With Freedom, there had been tweaks made to the zone capacities. In what way, I'm not entirely sure. I just know there were adjustments made and said adjustments are why there are, say, two instances of AP constantly.
Maybe with the excess pets, (Lore, MM, Temp so forth), the zone can't handle us anymore. Though, it'd be a shame for a cap to have put on a fairly unused zone.
I actually survived through the first round of disconnects. It wasn't until we made the first attempt (the charge at Hami portion) that I disconnected, after everyone started coming back.

A large part of server load is simply keeping each client informed of what every other client is doing, and that load increases with the square of the number of people in the zone. For example, if there are 100 people in a zone, there are potentially 4,950 pairs of players the server needs to keep track of. If you reduce the zone cap to 50, there are only 2,450 pairs (two zone instances of 1,225 pairs each), and you've increased your server capacity without needing to add any hardware. Since pets are handled by the server, they don't add much to this load: the server doesn't need to tell pets about each other, it just needs to tell the players what the pets are doing.
I suspect that a large part of the problem is that just about everyone has lore pets now, just about everyone has Destiny buffs, and (depending on when "this summer" was), formerly single-target and team-only buffs are now league AoE. That's a lot of status information being sent out, and it's quite possible that it's overwhelming people with slower computers or internet connections.

Has to be a combination of server, new code changes, different zone -- whatever... Next to no one D/C when we did it in the Hive
It was fun Xeaon, and we cleaned up the blooms this evening.

So yeah last week was lame, the server was acting funny.
I wanted to propose a new schedule for a new try, earlier this week but i got busy...
What i fear is that will have the same issue again.There is no way to predict it, but im having a feeling about it.
So i figured we could try something a tad different.
I propose we do up to 3 runs back to back.
First run we push at the 50% bloom
Second try we do the 75%
and on the 3rd we try the 100%.
Im offering 1B inf for each run. If we cannot complete a run, i keep the money and we dont go forward with the rest. :P
If we totaly rock it, i will give away a total of 3b inf.
Who ever get the Kill get the 1b.
Now for the When....
I propose this sunday at 6pm EST. Its the regular hamidon raid red side schedule.
Also, im not worried about nukes and temps, i figure with stacked incarnate powers, will be fine.

And we did it... well almost...
50% run --> done
75% push -- > done
100% push attempt --> Massive Lag
2nd attempt, no pets at rock, but casted once at hami, we did better, but we lacked the DPS... the greens do heal Hami pretty fast, so you need a lot of DPS.
We should try again but with a full league.
in the end we cleared the double bloom we created, and then pushed at the 50% bloom. Hami died a 3rd time.
Sad night to be a Jello!
FoxyFox got the first 1b inf
Xi got the 2nd and Rain of Radiation (yes yes, how funny, KiTTy herself) got the 3rd.
Thx everyone for joining the event!

Global Co's 5th year anniversary special Hamidon Raid, 3B inf in prizes
Yes yes, you guys have* been stuck with us for 5y now :P
This year, we are proposing a Special Hamidon raid to celebrate the event.
We will host a 100% push Red Side Hamidon Raid, this Saturday the 7th at 9pm EST.
What is a 100% push raid?...
Its when you do not clear any mitos at all, you do not clear the initial mitos or any of the blooms.
We will setup pets and AoE buff, at the safe rock, then go attack Hami directly.
A 100% push was completed with success blue side (Thx to Arky) a few weeks ago. This time we do it red side.
What we need ?
- Bio nukes, chem nukes, damage nukes
- HVAS
- SHIVANS
- any other useful temp powers
- Clarion and rebirth
- Lore Pets (you need to tell them to attack hami, or they will attack whatever)
- etc.
If you do not have any of those, just show up anyways we care to have fun with you in any case.
But what about the prizes ?!
We are offering a generous 2B inf reward to who ever get the kill, yes yes 2B.
For this we will need ppl to help us determine the winner, the chat log entry does not always show up to everyone... so we will need many ppl confirming the name.
Then we offer 10 times 100m inf, for trivia questions. this will be durign the Monster hunt. while willl beat up on those monsters I will ask in Broadcast or Request, up to 10 questions, first to reply the right answer will get 100M inf.
if the Monster hunt is too short, well to bad, will figure something else.
In Any case i hope we get many many ppl to join.
If you have questions or suggestion, plz feel free to reply to this post or PM me.
See you all Saturday
